That -Four Cornered Affair.

To the Editor OF the Republic:
The writer of the article on the meeting
Sunday afternoon at Temperance hall.
seems to have aimed to be fair, but was ev-
identity not informed as to the facts.
Neither repeated efforts" nor any .'ef-
forts" have been made to get the city clergy
10 attend the meetings. A cordial invita-
ton has always been extended to them and
they have been made welcome when they
have come.
If any one has insisted" that the meet
ings were nOn-poiitical, have never heard
them. The meetings have been so in fact
but the managers of the meetings have
never pretended 10 drop their political
identity.
In arranging for the meeting last Sunday
| concluded that if any of the ministers had
in any way obtained the idea that they were
not wanted, or were not welcome. | would
dispel the idea, so wrote personal letter to
each. stating the purpose of the meeting.
and saying: ''f"u are cordially invited To
be present and participate in the exercises
On entering the hall please come at once to
the platform" There was no urgent
invitation. | simply proposed to assure

preston is that he is republican. There
was nothing in his address Ia prove to the
contrary.

but as the main DRIFT of his speech was that
the managers of the meeting were not run

lengthy speech, which woke up Mr.. Dewitt.

Witt, which We're C, rtainly out of place under
the circumstances, but there would have
been no trouble if DR.. Falconer had not uL-
dertaken to set the gentlemen from Iowa to
rights

was not pleasant, | admit.
| greatly regret that these ministerial
brethren. when present as guests in OF

of them need have taken exception. and

a rapping at the door loud enough To wake
the seven sleepers. You open it. 1t is
only the chambermaid. She stands bolt
upright and as rigid as a corpse. Her
face is the utter raculty of expression
She says ''Guten tag" or ''Guten abend"
in a sudden way that is not exactly
explosive. 1t gives you the i'm
preston that she has dropped something
very heavy, and you involuntarily rec3u
and look down to see what il is.

In the Inter den Linden the woman in the

amendment.

The furry at Temperance hall Sunday
afternoon. and the frank statement of Mr..
X. 5. Thompson. the editor of the prohibi-
ton State organ. the Neir Era and the
leading prohibitionist in this portion of the
state. have combined 10 clear up the situa-
ton. Temperance hall is owned and man
aged by the partisan prohibitionists, and it
is to be occupied and controlled by them,
even when union PRAYER meetings OF Gospel
temperance meetings are held. This is
quite proper. We do not object TO it. But
ii is quite evident, from what occurred
on SUNDAY afternoon. that Temperance
hall is no place for republican ministers or
laymen. Ii is not their hall. 1t was built
to promote the interests of the prohibition
party and all the meetings, and suppers,
and Gospel and children's meetings, are
held with the purpose of building up
the prohibition party. Republicans and
democrats should understand this: that
when they attend these meetings they are
giving countenance to this idea and effort;
that they are doing so much
ts"hAu S"N3Ahe uD'hi, ohu
that they are liable at any time,
TO have inflicted upon them. in speeches, in
prayers, and in private personal appeals,
mid reproaches, because they do not join
the prohibition party. After this We do
not think anybody needs to be deceived.
Devout republicans and democrats will pray
in their own churches and closets and give
the prohbitionists the largest liberty and
ample room TO pray in Temperance hall.
They will have full opportunity TO de-
velop their boom. Nobody will molest
them. or abuse them. OF impugn their
motives. but they must not expect that re-
publicans or democrats are going 10 co-ope-
rate with them in a movement which, at all
times. and in all its operations, looks to the
building up Of prohibition political party.
Republicans are men of principles; many of
them are p pious-all of them are sincere
and they propose to persist in supporting
republican principles and in voting the re-
publican ticket That is precisely what
ails us, Brother Thompson.

1t appears that Mr.. Parnell is not quite
gone with consumption. He has certainly
not lost his voice. He materialized in tht
house of commons. Monday. and made a
speech which profoundly impressed his au.
dience and which will profoundly impress the
country also. He proposed the following
as an amendment TO the address In reply to
the Queens speech:
The relations between the owners and oc-
cupiers of land in Ireland have net been Sc
riously disturbed in cases of those who
granted their tenants such abatements as
were demanded by the prices of agrcul-
tural and pastoral products. The remedy
for the crisis in Irish agrarian affairs would
be found, not in increased stringency of
criminal procedure or in the pursuit of
such novel, doubtful and unconstitutional
measures as those recently taken by her
majestys government, but in such reform
of law and the system of government as
will satisfy the needs and secure the conf
dence of the Irish people.
Mr.. Parnell put the blame of the troubles
now occurring in Ireland on the govern
ment, for attempting coercion and promot-
ing eyictions. The government, he as
serted, had been arbitrary in prosecuting
Mr.. Dillon and in suppressing public meet
ings in Sligo. Ii is announced that Mr..
Gladstone promises TO support Mr.. Parnelrs
amendment.
